PRODUCT USE: TMS Polymeric Products are typically used for wire and cable identification
This product is not hazardous when used as recommended or intended. If this product is overheated, charred, or burned the
health and safety information presented in this MSDS may apply.
Thermal decomposition and combustion byproducts may be regulated under US-OSHA; CAN-WHMIS; IOSH; ISO; UK-CHIP; or EU Directives (67/548/EEC-
Dangerous Substance Labelling, 98/24/EC-Chemical Agents at Work, 99/45/EC-Preparation Labeling, 2001/58/EC-MSDS Content, and 1907/2006/EC-REACH).
SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: TMS Polymeric Products are not hazardous during proper installation, as directed by
product installation guides. If overheated to degradation, most significantly if the product
burns, thermal degradation and combustion byproducts may be toxic and should not be
inhaled.
The thermal degradation and combustion byproducts will depend on the base polymer
used, and may include, but are not limited to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic
acids (including acetic acid), aldehydes, low molecular weight hydrocarbons, silicon dioxide,
hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen bromide, fluoro-olefins, and oxides of
nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Thermal degradation and combustion byproducts may be toxic and should not be inhaled.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS:
EYES: Contact with molten material may cause thermal burns.
SKIN: This product is not expected to be a skin irritant. Contact with the molten material my cause thermal
burns. No harmful effects are expected from skin absorption of this product.
INGESTION: Ingestion of this product is highly unlikely. There is insufficient information available on this material to
predict the effects from ingestion.
INHALATION: In common with most organic materials, thermal degradation and combustion byproducts may be toxic
and should not be inhaled. (See comments below and the Thermal Degradation and Combustion
Byproducts Section for more specific information).
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS:
None of the ingredients to which users may be exposed and which are present at equal to or greater than 0.1% of the product,
are listed by OSHA, NTP, or IARC as suspect carcinogens.
